Abstract:
Our hospital changed the old dispensing mode of its outpatient pharmacy and started to dispense drugs by applying computer network techniques. At the registration area of the outpatient clinic, patient data were entered by means of the computer and the doctor entered his prescription by means of the computer; the dispensing pharmacist dispensed drugs according to the printed drug bag; the distributing pharmacist made checks according to the printed prescription by the doctor item by item and bag by bag. The new dispensing mode had the following advantages: bringing convenience to the patient, ensuring the accuracy of pricing, and shortening the drug-obtaining process; greatly cutting down on the errors occurring in the drug dispensing, distributing and obtaining process, and improving the quality of drug dispensing and distribution; effectively guaranteeing the wholeness and traceability of the prescriptions; greatly enhancing work efficiency; and bettering service manners. Surveys on the level of patients' satisfaction indicated that the level of patients' satisfaction towards the management of our hospital's pharmacy showed a year-to-year upward tendency.
